Genomics Capacity Building for Rapid Disease Detection and Diagnosis: Strengthened by Responsible Science, Bioethics, and Mentorship

In this project, early- and mid-career bio-science investigators from the MENA region received training in genomics and culture-free molecular diagnostics and bioethics. Specifically, collaborating partners engaged with regional bio-scientists possessing dual-use research of concern expertise and/or access to dangerous biological agents to encourage the adoption of culture-free disease diagnosis techniques and the responsible conduct of science. This project paired experienced scientists who had a proven record of robust biorisk management (BRM) practices and responsible research with scientists at earlier career stages in a mentor/mentee framework.
